When I discuss the wide range of gambling and betting with friends who are not on the forum, I often notice their flawed thinking. If it were just once, I would not have given it a thought but when their flawed thinking about gambling comes up over and over again it makes me torn between wanting to help them change the way they think or just leaving them to continue with such thinking until some major gambling experience happens and changes it for them. Some type of this flawed thinking is borrowing money from loan apps to gamble thinking that when they win they will pay back the loan and its interest and keep the rest for themselves. They call this gambling, with other people's money. Another flawed thinking is their belief that paid between groups will make them become millionaires faster than if they are not in the paid group. There are others like this.
Anyone who has gone to the extent of borrowing to finance his gambling programs is moving towards addiction. I know some guys around my neighbourhood while I was growing up who sold their belongings to fund their gambling activities. That's a totally wrong avenue to fund betting because the outcome is highly unknown.

I stopped getting predictions from paid prediction channels because they are not also reliable. Their predictions are not too different from the free platforms.

Another misperception some gamblers have is that gambling daily is important and that the day you miss might have been your lucky day. This might be the reason why some gamblers gamble every day, no matter what it will cause them.
Not moving into addiction but rather they do already on the state of addiction. If you are still on your right mind then you wont be finding yourself on taking up some loans or borrowing money for you just to gamble.

When you are still on good control then its unlikely that you will be taking up such step on which you do know that once you do get involved with debts then recovery or repaying it back will be that so hard. So its important that on the time that you do give out some advises into those people whom you do know on playing gambling and showing up with those addict person actions then it will be that up to them whether they will listen into you or they will be letting things pass through into their ears and just continue on what they have been doing.

Usually gambling addicts wont be listening out no matter what not until that they will be experiencing for themselves into those unfortunate conditions. So its important that you have that told them
at least on showing up some concern but since they are the ones who do spend out their own money then there's nothing you can do about it.
